Today,
around about 100 people marched in Cape Town’s Civic Centre to demand that the Cape
Town Mayor Patricia de Lille delivers a reasonable budget when she tables her
final budget speech on Friday.

Social
Justice System Axolile Notywala said there is R22 million of the water and
sanitation for capital budget for all of 204 informal settlement.

“We
think this is unfair and it’s not equitable all we want is for the Mayor to reconsiders
her allocation on Friday and table a much better fair and equitable budget.”
Notywala added.

SJC
and Ndifuna Ukwazi claimed to have facilitated over 500 submissions from
informal settlement residents on the lack of water and sanitation
infrastructure.
